About
Napkin AI attacks a specific, painful workflow: the gap between written ideas and the diagrams people need to communicate them. Rather than asking you to drag shapes onto a canvas, Napkin reads a block of text — a paragraph from a doc, a strategy note, a set of steps — and proposes several finished visuals you can pick from and refine. The generated diagrams are fully editable: you can swap icons, recolor, restyle, and adjust connectors without leaving the tool. Because output is tied to your words, the visuals automatically render in the same language as the source across 60+ languages, which makes it especially useful for non-English teams. Napkin fits presentations, blog posts, reports, and internal docs, with export to PNG, PDF, SVG, and PPT, plus a teamspace for real-time co-editing. The free plan is generous enough for light use at 500 credits per week, while Plus ($9/person/month) removes the watermark and unlocks PPT/SVG export, and Pro ($22/person/month) adds custom styles and brand fonts for on-brand output.
